insisted she won't reduce public spending or scrap any more of her tax plans in herfirst prime minister's questions since the government's controversial mini—budget. she defended her economic plans amid uncertainty and economic markets and the sharp rise in mortgage interest rates and government borrowing cost. the institute for fiscal studies has worried —— warned the chancellor will have to find cuts of more than £60 billion to meet the target of getting public finances back under control. the labour leader accused the prime minister of living in denial and said her decisions were causing so much pain. our political editor chris mason has the story. take a look through the windows of downing street, the war in ukraine and its consequences, spiralling prices, borrowing costs up and the pound and opinion polls down. in one big question- — pound and opinion polls down. in one

arrived and that year came from the labour benches. it appears tonight that the government has inadvertently driven down a cul—de—sac and it does not want to be seen to be reversing out of it. they hope that after some twists and turns and ventures over the grass verge they may find their way through and things might turn out to be ok. but there are plenty, including on their own side, who are now questioning the navigation and the driver. investors remain nervous after the bank of england insisted its emergency bond—buying scheme would end this week, dismissing reports it may be extended. the bank is buying bonds to stabilise their price and prevent a sale which could put some pension schemes at risk but that intervention will end on friday. our business editor, simonjack, has the details. so why are financial markets in turmoil and what does it mean for you? the big problems are in the government bond market. what is a bond? bonds are a bit like an i owe you from the government.

it borrows money and promises to pay it back with interest. they are seen as a very safe investment. it's assumed the government will pay it back. these bonds are bought and sold, it's a very big market, and it's been unusually volatile. why? well, last month the government promised huge tax cuts without explaining how it would pay for them. this means that those ious — those bonds — looked riskier. this means investors want more interest to justify the extra risk. so the cost of government borrowing rose at its fastest rate over a short period ever. pension funds are big buyers of government bonds and hold onto them for years. but some specialist pension fund managers have used them as collateral to borrow cash now from banks to be able to pay out on pension promises. when the value of that collateral started to plummet those banks wanted more cash to make sure they didn't end up out of pocket.

the pension mangers had to sell more bonds to raise that cash which pushed the prices of bonds even lower, a selling spiral — the more you sell the more you have to sell. to try and break that cycle of selling, the bank of england said it would buy billions of the government bonds off them to stabilise the market. but the bank's governor andrew bailey said it would stop doing this on friday. and here's what happened. it worked at first, but now borrowing costs are heading back to where they were before the bank of england intervened. so how does that all affect every day life. are pensions safe? the most important thing for people to remember is that these final salary type pensions have £2 trillion of assets standing behind them, so although there has been a lot of turmoil and there is a lot going on under the bonnet, those benches are safe because there is a lot of money behind them and british businesses standing behind the

pension fund. although the headlines are horrible, the pensions are safe. although the headlines are horrible, the pensions are safe. but there is another effect. the cost of government borrowing affects the cost of all borrowing including mortgages. a year ago, a £200,000 mortgage on a £300,000 home would have cost around 2%. now that same mortgage is around 5.7%. meaning extra borrowing costs of over £7,000 a year. most of that is due to interest rates rising all around the world. but between 2,000 and 3,00 of that extra cost was by the government's not—so—mini budget. 1.3 million people have to refinance their mortgages in the next few months. it's predicted that the uk economy will fall in to a recession after it unexpectedly shrank by 0.3% in august. it's being driven by the highest rise in prices in a0 years, which is eating into people's

budgets and outpacing wage rises. our economics editor faisal islam is in washington for the international monetary fund's annual meeting and joins me now. we know the imf are sceptical about the chancellor's plans. what reception is he likely to get? it is not 'ust reception is he likely to get? it is not just that _ reception is he likely to get? it 3 notjust that prediction reception is he likely to get? it 3 not just that prediction arising notjust that prediction arising from the shock august figure going into reverse, it is also, as we have been hearing from simon, the fact that the government borrowing costs have effectively gone up to a 20 year high because of the bank of england saying that they would stop that emergency intervention at the weekend. on top of that, the bank of england chief economist was saying the biggest risk arising from the energy shock is now not inflation, but the public finances, which puts the ball firmly back in the court of the ball firmly back in the court of the chancellor in terms of finding a solution to this market turmoil. if that was not enough, when he arrived here at the imf, he was having meetings with fellow g7 finance ministers from the world's biggest

economies and there are questions from across the world about what is going on in the united kingdom and whether this sort of situation is just adding unnecessarily to financial fragility at an already concerning time. when you put it altogether you are left the prime minister saying there will be no spending cuts, but also saying there will be no tax rises, that borrowing will be no tax rises, that borrowing will stay under control, and you don't have to be a bond trader or a finance minister or even have a gcse in maths to say how will that work in maths to say how will that work in the next two and a half weeks? that is the question being posed at the highest levels here at the imf. levels here at the imf. there's more updates, news and analysis on bbc news online, that's bbc.co.uk/news, and by using the bbc news app. police searching for a 19—year—old who has not been seen for more than

this address and started searching and they found leah's rucksack and other personal items. today they have launched a murder investigation. a few hours later they announced they had found human remains. the police have told us that the call on monday was the first occasion that they were alerted to this address behind me and they say the forensic work will continue and it will be some time to formally identify the deceased. as you can imagine, this is a very anxious time for leah's friends and family and they are being updated and supported by specialist officers. a nurse accused of murdering babies on a neonatal ward allegedly killed a premature baby girl on the fourth attempt. she then sent the parents a sympathy card. she then sent the parents a sympathy card. lucy letby is charged with murdering seven babies and attempting to murder ten others at countess of chester hospital in 2015 and 2016.

the incubator. the baby's oxygen levels were falling dangerously, but the monitor alarms had not sounded as they should have done and the jury as they should have done and the jury was told letby no effort to help the baby or made no effort to help the baby or to call for assistance. prosecuting, nicholasjohnson to call for assistance. prosecuting, nicholas johnson casey told the jury that the doctor found the baby's chest was not moving at a breathing tube had become dislodged. lucy letby is charged with a baby possum attempted murder. she watched from the dock as mrjohnson said it was highly significant that children in her care persistently and

consistently suffered emergencies. he said, sometimes the evidence of her hand of work is more evident than others and it is remarkable that on many occasions when children had suffered an unexpected and spectacular life and collapses were removed from her over it and they had exceptional recoveries. the court heard that in one week lucy letby had tried to kill three babies, and one of them are known as baby i was said to have been resilient with the nurse trying

three times to murder her and succeeding on the fourth occasion. then the court heard she sent a condolence card to that baby's parents, sometimes —— something she said she knew it was not normal. lucy letby denies all the charges he faces and the defence team are expected to outline their case tomorrow. judith morris, bbc news, manchester. coming upa coming up a bbc investigation reveals — coming up a bbc investigation reveals how the social media giant tiktok _ reveals how the social media giant tiktok is _ reveals how the social media giant tiktok is propheting from donations made _ tiktok is propheting from donations made to— tiktok is propheting from donations made to syrian refugees.

coming up in sportsday on the bbc news channel, a big night in glasgow as rangers host liverpool at ibrox for the first time, three of the uk's biggest conservation groups are joining forces to challenge what they call a government u—turn on protecting nature. the national trust, the wildlife trusts and the rspb — which have more than eight million members between them — say new government policy is an attack on nature and they urgently need assurance about legal protections for wildlife and changes to farming subsidies. the conservation groups say if they have to, they may encourage their members to take to the streets and protest. here's our rural affairs correspondent, claire marshall. fiting from today in parliament square, activists glued themselves to the road. over the last ten days police say they have arrested 400 people. this is a from the this is a world away from the tactics of more mainstream conservation groups. 50 tactics of more mainstream conservation groups. so this is about trying — conservation groups. so this is about trying to _ conservation groups. so this is about trying to get _ conservation groups. so this is about trying to get this - conservation groups. so this is about trying to get this me - conservation groups. so this is i about trying to get this me annal across. �* . .,. ., ., , in a more centeel across.:———— - in a more genteelway. i - in a more genteel way. this begun, in a more genteel way. this was in the environment secretary's constituency last weekend. and now in a step, and now in a highly unusual step, the heads of

chanting: send me gifts! they're asking for help, for follows, for gifts. this is a new trend on tiktok. working with bbc arabic, we found more than 300 tiktok accounts posting these kinds of videos with viewers sometimes spending more than $1,000 an hour in total on gifts. the idea behind tiktok gifts is to reward creators for interesting content. these gifts are bought with real money and can cost up to $500. the gifts are converted to a virtual currency that you can withdraw as cash. but how much of that goes to the families? and how much does tiktok take for itself? you can see there's a pattern. the children seem to be saying the same kind of things. they are asking for likes and gifts and if you listen closely, sometimes you can hear there's a voice off—camera actually telling them what to say. like, like, like. we asked a localjournalist to visit a camp in north—west syria.

mona lives here with her six daughters. they go on tiktok for two or three hours at a time several times a day. she's saving up to pay for medical treatment for her daughter, sharifa, who's blind. translation: i tell them | about my life in the camps and how we lost our home. and about my daughter's situation, so that people will support me. hameed also lives in the camp and is known as a tiktok middleman. he sold his livestock to buy a phone and now works with 12 different families, setting up their accounts, filming, and withdrawing their earnings. he says most of the gifts�* value is taken by tiktok before it even reaches his account. translation: the lion is the biggest gift. - it's worth $500, but by the time it reaches the money transfer shop, it's only $155. tiktok wouldn't tell us how much commission it takes on gifts in the app, so we decided to check for ourselves.

we asked mohammed, a local journalist, to go live from an account in syria. we sent him $106, around £90 in gifts, from another account. then he went to withdraw the money. from the $106 in gifts we donated, tiktok took 73. that's almost 70%. the money transfer shop charged a further 10% and people like hameed, who provide the phones, take a cut of what is left. so, from those $106, our syrian family would have just $19, and often, the families we spoke to get much, much less. in a statement, tiktok said that this type of content is not allowed on their platform and they would strengthen their global policies around exploitative begging. a charity that works in the camp told us it could help support these families as an alternative to making money from tiktok live streams. but there are still hundreds of families going live

from camps in syria every day. and the lion's share of the money donated lines the pockets of tiktok itself. hannah gelbert, bbc news. the rugby union side wasps have withdrawn from saturday's premiership game against exeter. they say it is "likely" they will enter into administration "in the coming days". it's another huge blow for english domestic rugby after worcester was placed into administration and suspended from the premiership for the rest of the reason. our sports editor dan roan is outside wasps�* ground in coventry. what is going wrong for these clubs? ey ey call lit go on for at least four weeks. . ~ ey call lit go on for at least four weeks. ., ,, , ., weeks. thank you. wasps _ weeks. thank you. wasps are - weeks. thank you. wasps are among | weeks. thank you. | wasps are among a weeks. thank you. - wasps are among a number weeks. thank you. _ wasps are among a number of clubs that have got themselves into significant amounts of debt. this is is one of the most famous names in rugby, six times english champion, twice european champions but the holding company behind it has been struggling to repay a £35 million

has been the rain way car, so here is our weather front across north—west england down into wales, a few scattered showers, that front is going to sink steadily south and east, as we go through the night, so blanket of cloud and some rain, some pepping up for a time across essex and kent and maybe into east anglia, behind it clearer skies and a few scattered showers, so a contrast in the temperatures. chilly start in scotland by contrast in comparison to the night passed. double digit into the south—east. early morning rain easing away, for the majority it will be a dry, settled sunny day, by the owned the afternoon more wet weather pushing into the far north and west. temperatures similar values to much of the week really, 11-17 the values to much of the week really, 11—17 the high. as we move into friday it is all about low pressure and low pressure stays with us for the weekend as well. so the isobars squeezing together the winds picking up squeezing together the winds picking up and there will be some rain round as well. so, it looks likely that

the wettest of the weather, the strongest of
